The blackout is starting to have a financial impact on Reddit, but we must stay dark! (www.adweek.com)

If the performance weakness continues for a week or two, the agency would start recommending decreasing spend with Reddit or directing it to other platforms.

After the blackout, we will be closely monitoring user behavior on Reddit and guide clients when we can unpause,” said Freddy Dabaghi, managing director at Stagwell-backed Crispin Porter Bogusky, which has asked clients to stop campaigns, depending on their client goals.

Don't forget that in the end of the month and July 1st the third party apps will disappear on reddit. That means more redditors will to like lemmy or squablles etc.

Yeah, this is what I'm most interested to see. Right now it's a forward thinking, principled thing.

Once Relay, RiF, Apollo, BaconReader, and all the others go defunct, a lot more people are going to take notice. If they use the awful official app, they're going to realize Reddit has changed dramatically and not for the better, and they've just been shielded from the worst if it with their 3rd party apps.

old reddit com also will stop working somewhere around this date, and this will put more people away

Do you have a source on this? 5 days ago the message was "P.S. old.reddit.com isn’t going anywhere".

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

A few months ago, the message was also "Reddit is not going to start charging for API access."

I'm not saying old.reddit.com is going away in the very near future, but I also wouldn't put too much trust into whatever spez says on any given day.

I don't disagree, but there's a big difference between "it might stop working sometime in the future, there's no way to know for sure" and "it will stop working somewhere around the date the API changes are made".

The first is a good guess, the second is just flat out wrong. Look, I don't like the reddit admins any more than the next guy, but there's no need to resort to straight up lying.

Yeah, we're not in disagreement here.
